“What were the skies like when you were young?” was not asked by LeVar Burton

I always thought that the opening question in the song “Little Fluffy Clouds [1]” by the Orb [2] (music video [3]) was a sample of LeVar Burton [4], maybe from his show “Reading Rainbow [5], but apparently, it's not [6]! (link via Jason Kottke [7]) Upon relistening to the song, it's now clear to me that it's not Levar Burton. It's very close though.

And while I like the song, my favorite one from The Orb is “A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld [8],” which is like a fever dream but in a good way [You're insane! —Bunny] [Yes, but in a good way! —Sean].
